There is little consensus on salvage management of glioblastoma after recurrence, for lack of evidence. A retrospective study of treatments in patients with recurrent glioblastoma. Surgery at recurrence was related to better overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Surgery at recurrence, Karnofsky index, methylation status, younger age at diagnosis and number of chemotherapy cycles were positive factors for OS and PFS. The benefit of OS was relevant for a second surgery performed at least 9 months after the first one. Systemic treatments after the second surgery were linked to an improved PFS. Younger age, Karnofsky index, methylation status and a median time between surgeries ≥9 months may be criteria for eligibility for surgery at recurrence.

: This study aimed to compare the long-term outcomes of a modified réparation à l'étage ventriculaire (REV) and the Rastelli repair for ventricular septal defect (VSD) and pulmonary outflow tract obstruction without ventriculoarterial concordance. : The study included 100 consecutive patients who underwent a modified REV ( = 50) or Rastelli repair ( = 50) for transposition of the great arteries, double outlet right ventricle, or double outlet left ventricle with VSD and pulmonary outflow tract obstruction. The mean ages of the patients who underwent the modified REV and Rastelli repair were 2.

Radiotherapy, a prevalent and effective treatment for various malignancies, often causes collateral damage to normal skin and soft tissues in the irradiated area. To address this, we developed a novel approach combining SVFG-modified adipose-derived high-activity matrix cell clusters (HAMCC) with concentrated growth factors (CGF) to enhance regeneration and repair of radiation-induced skin and soft tissue injuries. Our study included cellular assays, wound healing evaluations, and histological analyses.

Objective: This study employs integrated network toxicology and molecular docking to investigate the molecular basis underlying 4-nonylphenol (4-NP)-mediated enhancement of breast cancer susceptibility.
Methods: We integrated data from multiple databases, including ChEMBL, STITCH, Swiss Target Prediction, GeneCards, OMIM and TTD. Core compound-disease-associated target genes were identified through Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) network analysis.

Background: Financial hardship (including financial stress, financial strain, asset depletion, and financial toxicity) is a highly relevant construct among the 6.9 million people living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) in the United States and their family networks. This scoping review will identify existing measures and approaches for capturing financial strain among these families.

Objective: This study aimed to measure the impact of adverse events (AEs) on advanced practice provider (APP) well-being and to describe symptoms of second victim syndrome (SVS) among this group of healthcare professionals.
Methods: A survey was designed to measure the incidence of AEs among APPs employed at a large healthcare system and AE impact on emotional, physical, and professional well-being. It also measured burnout, callousness, and the desire for peer support among APPs who had experienced AEs and those who had not.
